-- Promoting his new show "Robot Combat League" on Syfy, WWE part-timer Chris Jericho talked about a recent run-in with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas during filming.

“George Lucas came down (for a taping). His daughter’s one of the contestants. She’s an actual MMA fighter. And I asked him what is was like to see his vision from forty years ago come to life like this? And he said that the fact that technology has gotten to this point blows his mind," Jericho told Matt Fowler of Showrenity.com. The new show hosted by Jericho premiers in February.

USA Today comically added an example of how Gruden - who is known for strongly emphasizing certain words - would have called events on Raw. "THIS GUY knows how to deploy a ladder across a guy's back. I mean, watch THIS GUY climb up on the steel steps and knock his opponent woozy before putting him in a sleeper hold! THIS GUY is a World Wrestling Entertainment athlete!"
